I have an AD willing to sell me a sub no-date for 20% off msrp and no taxes. I consider this a very good deal. He has one in stock and I want the watch, but I do not really need a 5th ROLEX.

My gut tells me to make the purchase, since it is in stock and a good deal.

I know that alot of you really desire the date function, but I have a Daytona and seem to get by without forgetting the date. I mean, how many times a day do you look at your watch for date keeping. However, how does this watch hold it value versus the sub-date?

To lessen the blow on my wallet I am considering selling my TT DJ, it does not get as much wear and I figure I can always get another one.

Please help me make the right decision.

Thanks

Personally, I'd jump on that deal. True it is just me, but you don't hear of that type of discount on a sports model much, and the reference is about to be changed, I'll wager. Does it have the COSC certification and chapter ring branding? If not, I would definitely grab it! Like I said, just my .02.

Pretty sweet on one of the classics!

The 14060M is the LAST "untouched" classic iconic Rolex watch of them all.

I really like that is has non SEL's and even the old-style easy pull-out diver's extension link.

And without the COSC writing and CRB, it is just such a nice uncluttered dial to look at!

GET IT, I'd say!

Get it. I love it because it doesn't scream Rolex. It sort of whispers "maybe I'm a Seiko, maybe I'm a Rolex. Wouldn't you like to know."

If you like it then get it. Do not get it because it is a good deal. YOu would be better to pay full mrsp on a watch you really like than to get a "good deal" on a watch that is ambivalent with you.

I think one of the key things would be if it is the newer COSC model. This will probably be a collector's watch.

karmatp · 14 October 2007, 12:43 PM

I would get it. Great deal on a fantastic watch, I dont think you would be disappointed. Everyone should own a ND sub.

The 14060m was my 1st Rolex. I just loved the clean dial.
I later picked up a used SD after a short stint with a pepsi GMT. The SD quickly became my daily wearer, and I became attached to it having the date. If you have a regular date-sub, then you may run into this like I did. They look similar enough that you end up looking for the date which isn't there. It was a great watch otherwise, no mechanical or quality complaints.

Get an SD! (unless you already have one)

problmchylde · 14 October 2007, 07:07 PM

Sounds good to me....I'll jump at it.

LL1979 · 14 October 2007, 09:09 PM

look at the financial side if your not willing an extra Rolex you can also sell to someone else with some profit :). The profit can be used for the service for your other Rolex
